Galactic Research Academy

The Galactic Research Academy was located on the planet Koaan. It was a place of learning and huge storehouse of information gathered from scholars and scientists across the galaxy. One of its functions was the processing of scouting information, for whenever a scouting team discovered a planet, they sent their data to the Academy. Ideally, it would be processed there in preparation for study or colonization, although there was always a backlog of information. Under the Empire, this process drastically slowed down as it was less concerned with scouting and exploration. As a consequence, huge amounts of data built up unprocessed. The Empire also placed a few stormtroopers and officers at the Academy to keep an eye on it.

The Academy was organized into different levels, with the main library above ground, while much of the unprocessed data was kept below ground. The Academy had a number of outdoor courtyards for its mostly Human employees.
